3. Assessment

Midnight.

Shao Yuan was sleeping groggily, and in a blur, he seemed to hear a surprised voice from his parents' room, "Really".

I didn't pay much attention to it, turned over, and continued to sleep peacefully.

I don't know how long it took, but before the rooster could report, Shao Yuan woke up naturally.

Thinking about the upcoming conscription assessment, Shao Yuan is also looking forward to and nervous.

Get up and get out of the house ready to wash.

I found a figure printed by the lamp on the paper window of the kitchen, busy with the smoke wafting from the chimney.

With a little warmth in his heart and a little reproach, Shao Yuan walked to the kitchen.

"Mother, what are you doing here? I said that I am pregnant, so don't do these hard things. ”

Hearing his son's words, Lin Shi was not annoyed, and replied with a smile: "Didn't you cook too much last night?" ”

While talking, Shao Yuan's mother put all the dishes on the table, "Okay, you also get up, then wash up and eat." I've also baked a few cakes, so I'll remember to bring them later. ”

Seeing that Shao Yuan was still standing unmoved, Lin urged again, "Why are you stunned, hurry up and wash up." ”

Shao Yuan felt a little strange when he washed, "Although it's a good thing to be in a good mood, my mother is in a good mood too quickly." ”

After breakfast, Shao Yuan came to the entrance of the village with his luggage.

found that Zhang Qiang and the others were already waiting by the big stone at the entrance of the village.

Zhang Qiang looked at Shao Yuan, frowned and wanted to say something, but when he saw Shao Yuan's mother behind Shao Yuan, and Shao's father who was supported by her, he also swallowed his words.

"Ah Yuan, if you don't pass the assessment, it's okay to come back. Shao Mu suddenly said this.

looked at his father, but his father looked confident, "Behave well in the army." ”

"Dad, mother, I'm leaving. ”

didn't bother, after leaving with his parents, Shao Yuan got into the carriage that Zhang Qiang and they had prepared.

It was a roofless wooden car, driven by Zhang Qiang's father.

In addition to Shao Yuan and Zhang Qiang, there were also two of his subordinates in the car.

"Our Young Master Shao, not honestly killing pigs, actually thinking about joining the army to kill demons, it's really not simple. After the carriage traveled some distance, Zhang Qiang suddenly ridiculed Shao Yuan in between conversations with his friends.

"Hmm. After a brief response, Shao Yuan glanced at Zhang Qiang's father, who was driving, and then stopped talking.

Zhang Qiang saw Shao Yuan's reaction, and didn't dwell on it anymore, but just added a little anger to his face.

Along the way, the group stopped at a place about ten miles away from Pingyang Town when the sun was in the west.

In the two columns of soldiers standing neatly, a man stepped out and came to them.

The temples of the visitor were slightly bulging, and his eyes were shining, which was no different from the description of the martial artist that Shao Yuan had read in the novel.

"You're here to join the town's conscription?"

Hearing this, Zhang Qiang's father hurriedly got out of the car, took out a small cloth bag from his waist and handed it over.

"The military master has worked hard, this is the tea I brought from home, the military master can try it when he is free. ”

After seeing that the other party quietly accepted the cloth bag, Zhang Qiang's father looked happy and pointed to Zhang Qiang: "This is my son Zhang Qiang, and the others are also from the same village." ”

Seeing the martial artist take the bag of jingling 'tea leaves' handed over by Zhang Qiang's father, Shao Yuan's good impression of him also dissipated.

"Wait here, adjust well, and start the assessment unitary. ”

As soon as the words were finished, the warrior returned to the group.

The people who came out of the big stone village found a shade of a tree and rested.

Although Shao Yuan was a fourteen-year-old boy at this time, he didn't have a child's temper in two lives.

After thanking Zhang Qiang's father, he gave a part of the cake baked by his mother to everyone.

Zhang Qiang and the others were also unkind, so they took it and ate it.

The group just waited.

In addition to adults, more than a dozen teenagers who came looked like they were all fourteen or fifteen years old.

Among them, the strongest is Zhang Qiang from Dashi Village.

The sun is gradually moving westward, and the unitary hour is approaching.

During this period, the soldiers were standing in bamboo baskets, and without exception a stone was placed in them.

Shao Yuan looked at it and probably guessed the content of the assessment.

"The assessment is about to begin, and the participants will find a basket to prepare. The warrior who had come out before stood up and shouted again.

The baskets were lined up, and the teenagers who were going to participate followed the instructions to find their own places.

"Before the sun sets, when you arrive at the entrance of the town with a basket on your back, you will pass the assessment!

Carrying the basket in his hand, feeling the weight of the stones inside, and then looking at the sun that was about to come into contact with the distant mountains, Shao Yuan couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

The stones in the basket are fifty pounds at least, and the sun will set completely in less than half an hour.

When I lifted my upper back, my shoulders hurt from being strappled by the harness.

At this moment, Zhang Qiang and the other people who looked older had already run out first.

Shao Yuan gritted his teeth and hurried to follow.

After all the teenagers who had participated in the examination had set off, four of the two columns of soldiers stood behind them.

It should be spying on the teenagers to prevent anyone from cheating.

The sun on the side of the mountain gradually makes contact with the distant mountains, and then slowly sets.

Shao Yuan also fell behind along with some people who were not so strong.

At least half of the journey is still there, but now Shao Yuan feels extremely difficult with every step.

The shoulders were hot, and the weight of the stones on his back seemed to fall on his legs, and a step forward would bring a muffled sound.

The voice of the system in my head kept ringing:

"The host takes a serious step and gains 3 experience points. ”

"The host takes a serious step and gains 3 experience points. ”

“......”

"What do you want!"

Shao Yuan's face flushed with pressure climbed a little bitter.

The constant sound of prompts continued to show Shao Yuan the fact that he had the system, but Shao Yuan knew in his heart that the system could not help him now.

Shao Yuan can increase the proficiency of his own skills by consuming experience points.

But the only skills he has now are 'killing pigs' and 'boiling medicine', and even if he increases his proficiency at this time, it won't help.

The sun was engulfed by the distant mountains inch by inch, and the light gradually dimmed, just like Shao Yuan's mood.

"Ah Yuan, if you don't pass the assessment, it's okay to come back. ”

Shao Yuan suddenly remembered his mother's words this morning, "Could it be that after her father told her mother about the content of the assessment, did she think she couldn't pass?"

"Why does that dad still look confident. ”

Thinking about it, Shao Yuan glanced back and found that the people behind him seemed to have felt hopeless for the exam, and they collapsed on the ground as if they had given up.

And the four invigilators followed.

"Could it be that if you insist on walking the whole way after the sun goes down, things will take a turn for the better?"

Shao Yuan thought of this possibility, and gave birth to another vigor to move forward.

An hour after the sun completely set, Shao Yuan finally arrived at the entrance of Pingyang Town with difficulty.

A man in a black power suit with his hands behind his back is standing with his hands behind his back and his eyes closed.

After seeing the man in black, the four soldiers behind him finally circled around Shao Yuan and stood straight in front of the man.

"Your Excellency. ”

Hearing this, the man opened his eyes.

For a moment, Shao Yuan felt as if he was being looked at by an extremely fierce beast, and the muscles in his whole body suddenly tensed involuntarily.

"Take him to the chore room. After the man left such a sentence, he turned to leave, and the pressure Shao Yuan felt was also lightened.

"Have you passed the assessment?"

After such a sentence passed through his heart, Shao Yuan fainted.
